Wasn't Morganne the one that was reportedly not pleased with the Pixelation Moderators, and migrated to Pixelrate?

Among several others. I took issue with a lot of stuff going on at Pixelation. I always felt it was a terrific forum, particularly in that it was well-known enough to bring occasional visits from publishers and developers. Because of that it's also the reason I got my first paid pixel gig. But the moderating was downright juvenile at times, and usually overbearing. I guess I always kind of hoped for a forum with the renown of Pixelation, and the atmosphere of Pixeldev.

Hey guys,

I know, I sound like a broken record. But I just thought I'd mention with the new forum that Sigma Star Saga for GBA is coming out in just a few weeks. It's getting reviewed right now and so far between Nintendo Power, Game Informer and Play Magazine it's averaging 8.5/10 (woohoo!). The game's of note because it features pixel art by Gustav Kilman (Gustav), Josh Astorian (Jawsh), Ben Rosaschi (Monsoon2D) and myself (Sals). The latest trailer on IGN:

http://media.gameboy.ign.com/media/725/725353/dl_1172779.html

...showcases creatures from all four of us. If memory serves (starting about 11 seconds into the trailer):

Crab: Ben
Sputnik: Ben
Eye: Adam
Ice: Gustav
Flower: Josh
Orbs: Ben
Tetris: Adam
Ghost: Gustav
Drill: Gustav
Green: Ben

The rest (mostly big ones) were done by Jeremy Dower, our BG artist. There are more from each artist that aren't shown (around 30 total). The game is also written, produced and directed by pixel god Matt Bozon, creator of the GBC hit Shantae. Hopefully it will be just the first of handheld projects featuring multiple members from the Pixelation scene.

By the way Ben, your lobster boss was used in one of the reviews. Nintendo Power I think.
